TIPTOPSTARS

 For quite some time now, there has been an admirable committed effort by young Cameroonian film makers to improve the quality of film production in the country. This effort has been prominent in the area of scriptwriting, often said to be the core of the film making process. This positive spirit has undoubtedly attracted willing supporters of the film industry in Cameroon and at every moment the need has arisen, they have not failed to come on board. A recent example is the African Film Consortium, otherwise simply called AFC, organizer of a workshop on story directions and scriptwriting.

They may be far away from home, yet Cameroonians abroad are bent on staying closer by organizing events that put their country in the limelight. Some of such events have been awards that recognize their efforts in contributing enormously to the development of the Cameroonian entertainment industry from the diaspora. The latest of them, the Cameroon Diaspora Awards, CDA has just taken place the Dutch city of Rotterdam.

The widely acclaimed Cameroon based MuMak label is thrilled to announce the online release and cover art of Jovi’s highly anticipated debut album. H.I.V, the title of the said album stands for Humanity Is Vanishing referring to mankind’s evolution from a state of naturalness to a rather dysfunctional and artificial lifestyle.

Earlier this year, Jovi dropped a series of successful club-banging hit singles including Don 4 Kwat, Man Pass Man and Pitie featuring Congolese rumba legend Rochereau Tabu Ley. All his releases have been critically acclaimed by many Cameroonians and foreigners alike who feel Jovi has somehow put his country (affectionately known in the genre’s palance as “Kamer”) Hip-Hip on the spotlight with renowned TV networks such as Channel 0, Trace TV and MTV Base airing his songs unstoppably.
